The Magician's Nephew

The Magician's Nephew by C. S. Lewis

The Magician's Nephew tells the story of the creation of Narnia and the very first journey there by humans. Set in the Victorian era, the story follows young Diggory and Polly as they have a run-in with Diggory's eccentric Uncle Andrew, who attempts to use them as guinea pigs in his experiments with other worlds. Narnia is revealed to be only one of many other worlds, and its creation parallels the Biblical story of the creation of Earth. This novel explores themes of Christianity, original sin, and morality.
